VOL.20, THE GATHERING OF MILITARY EXPERTS
"Well, this room is too hot. Oops, is the air conditioning system broken? ”
Wiping the sweat that kept pouring out of his forehead with a white handkerchief embroidered with golden roses, the fat man grumbled as he took the remote control of the air conditioner and kept turning down the numbers on it.
In Chaldea, there is probably only one person who is so obese.
Caesar.
Legendary military strategist.
This man doesn't know what he went through to become this virtue.
Live like pigs in clover? Or is it self-defeating?
Legend has it that Caesar was a merry and beautiful man, and countless statues and portraits also say the same, so why is Caesar of Chaldea a fat man?
When asked about Caesar, he himself laughed and justified himself: this is to make people pay more attention to his military talents than to pay attention to beauty.
But looking at his smiling face, no matter how you look at it, it's nonsense. I guess it took thirty seconds to come up with nonsense.
He adjusted the air conditioner and made sure that there was a cold wind blowing down from the ceiling, so he put down the remote control in his hand and secretly observed the others at the table.
For the servant, the temperature does not have such a big effect, and what really makes Caesar uncomfortable is to sit with the other two.
One is the legendary victorious emperor [Napoleon Bonaparte], who was born much later than himself in history, but his popularity is not lost at all. Oh no, this spiritual base in Chaldea should be called Napoleon Bwannaba.
It was in France and Chaldea that the immature boy Napoleon and the future emperor Napoleon were fused, that is, the [Imitation Servant]. It seems that if certain conditions are met, Napoleon's main body can be summoned, but this condition is not yet clear.
The presence of this military strategist made Caesar can't help but breathe a sigh of relief, not daring to relax too much.
The other one......
"Well, that's amazing, Napoleon. Okay, then at this time, let's recruit troops from the local area. ”
The red-haired boy rested his cheek with one hand on his cheek, his brow furrowed, and stared at the chessboard for a long time before finally making the above remarks. As he spoke, he picked up a black piece from the captured piece next to him and placed it on the board.
Playing chess with Napoleon was another military strategist, Alexander.
It was this lord who made Caesar uncomfortable.
Although, what is staying in Chaldea now is only the infant state of Lord Iskander, but, but this is also Iskandar!
Caesar's former goal, Caesar's highest strategist, is now in front of him, how can he remain calm?
I didn't tell anyone else that once Caesar had a woman he loved. Fortunately, that lady was not a weak woman who only knew how to cling to men, but a strong man who was strong enough to gallop with him.
Together, the two dreamed of building a Roman-Egyptian empire, like the conquering king, and creating a huge empire.
Although Caesar died in the end in an assassination attempt, it is not difficult to see in these fragments of dreams his reverence for Iskandar (Alexander).
It's really flattering to be able to sit with him today. This is also the main reason why he is restless.
He came a little late, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw the two of them playing chess, and Caesar was very clever not to disturb them, but just looking at it, he could not suppress his enthusiasm, so he could only move here and there, like a child.
Seeing Alexander return the pieces that had already been killed to the chessboard like a fool, Napoleon smiled slightly and said, "In that case, consume a turn, and it will be my turn." ”
As he spoke, he lay down the pieces that Alexander had just put up, along with the pieces around him.
"What are you doing?"
Alexander hurried.
"My knight is attacking."
"How can a knight attack be justified in fighting so much?"
"Tut-tut, you don't understand, this is my French dragoon!"
To explain a little here, dragoons are a type of military that really exists in history, but they are not cavalry riding dragons as everyone understands, but cavalry equipped with muskets. It seems that in those days, dragons were one of the synonyms for muskets.
"But, then you're only one knight left!"
"There is nothing impossible in my Napoleonic dictionary!"
"Then you can change the dictionary! In short, this kind of play is too tricky, and it is dismissed. ”
Alexander quit and went straight to the hand, stopping Napoleon from grinning and continuing to knock down his chess pieces.
These two men are both famous military strategists in history, but they both came as young men in Chaldea, and they did things like children.
After a while, it ended with the two of them lifting the chessboard entirely.
The military thinking of these two men can also be seen here.
Alexander has an active mind, although everyone says that chess exercises thinking, but it is not appropriate to use chess to compare the battlefield, as Alexander just said, it is also a normal means to mobilize troops in the conquered areas.
Ordinary people in such a situation would accuse Alexander of deceit, but Napoleon was different. He is not the kind of person who follows the rules, and when he sees Alexander like this, he will do what he wants, and he has added modern settings to himself.
It's really a good couple.
When the game ended, the three military strategists officially greeted each other and sat down.
"I said, don't make too much trouble."
Joan of Arc reminded them quietly.
Yes, the location of the three of them is the [Saint Association], or [Prayer Hall], which has just opened.
At first, Alexander was just curious to come in and have a look, and he didn't really want to pray or anything, but Napoleon really came to meet Joan of Arc, who was also a hero of France.
As soon as they saw Alexander coming, the two of them talked about strategy in three or five sentences, and then directly spread out the chessboard and killed.
Where did the chessboard come from? I asked Napoleon, and it seemed that it was given to her by Miss Tamyel, an employee of the Chaldeans, the kind of chess that she could carry with her with a folding chessboard. Napoleon took it with him everywhere.
(Miss Umyer again.) )
Joan of Arc remembered the mature and steady lady again. In the Chaldees, her temperament is the most unique. It seems that because Mademoiselle is French herself, she is particularly interested in these French servants.
(Find a chance to thank her someday.) )
Thinking so, Joan of Arc returned her gaze to the table where the three military strategists were seated, and none of them prayed, but sat together playing chess. Now that chess is over, it's time for them to go, right?
However, take a closer look at the words......
These three people don't seem to have any intention of leaving?!
